It's basically just a Tolkien fetish video because he's really the only one with the breadth to draw on in fiction. I would have loved to have gone more into etymology, but time didn't allow (believe it or not, most people don't want hour long discussions on why Gondor is called Gondor).
This video we go through (1) how names typically begin (2) how names change (3) how names relate to power and (4) how names relate to migration.
